It's a strange, globalised world

I left the last bar feeling pleasantly mellow and they were kind of shutting. It all worked nicely. Just down the road I saw another bar with loads of people outside and, being a weak-willed git, after about two seconds' debate with myself I decided to have another beer there.

I ordered a Brahma but (I gather, I am not perfect on the language yet, but I have four months' practice ahead) it wasn't cold. So I accepted the alternative they offered. I vaguely thought it was 'Estrella' but it turns out I've just bought a large glass of Stella Artois. A very acceptable lager, but wot larks! I travel 5000-odd miles and end up drinking wifebeater. :-)
